Chondrogenically Tuned Expansion Enhances the Cartilaginous Matrix-Forming Capabilities of Primary, Adult, Leporine Chondrocytes

When expanded through passage, chondrocytes lose their ability to produce high-quality cartilaginous matrix. This study attempts to improve the properties of constructs formed with expanded chondrocytes through alterations in the expansion protocol and the ratio of primary to expanded chondrocytes u...
